This just means that Rescue Bots still has the best theme song of the three Hasbro Studios-made TF cartoons.

Ugh, I agree. Transformers needs a fun theme song, not theme music. Especially stuff as boring as that. TFA was about as close as we'll get to a catchy redux of the original theme.

They seem to be going for Tron Uprising's style, with cel shading and lower framerate to giving it a sort of motion-comic look.
I did not like that about Tron Uprising, and I certainly don't like it here. You're right, it's a major step down from Prime.

Remember how certain episodes of Prime (and Rescue Bots) would sometimes play a shortened version of the theme song? That's what that video is.
This video here is what the full, proper version of the theme song is, an it sounds MUCH better:

That's kinda what makes me uneasy. Prime looked good, and each episode was alright, but it didn't really have a story, so much as it had several stories that were messily wrapped up in different parts of the last 13 episodes, or some that were forgotten altogether. The character design is something I can probably get used to.

I agree that the storytelling of Prime wasn't the best. Or at least, for its first season. Seasons 2 and 3 had better stories than the first, even if there still were some issues with them. I guess we can say that Animated spoiled us with its more serialized format of storytelling.
Though, the episodic format seems to be what's in these days since past interviews with the Prime crew had them explain that the reason they told the kinds of stories that could usually be wrapped up at the end of each episode was to prevent from alienating new viewers who's come into the show midway, and so viewers could easily jump right into the show at any point and watch any episode at any time without necessarily having to go back and catch up ones that they've missed.
I myself don't necessarily agree with their thinking since that kind of storytelling kind of defeats the purpose of having a progressive, ongoing narrative that spans multiple episodes, thereby making the act of following said narrative from start to finish less engaging since chapters wouldn't flow together as well as they would if they built upon each other. This is why the Omega Keys arc of Prime is probably my favorite portion of that show.
Conversely, I can let the episodic format of Rescue Bots slide since that show isn't on the same scale as the bigger kid cartoons and isn't intended to be as ambitious (even if that show does tend to sometimes go the extra mile in its storytelling, but that isn't meant to be its norm, so they're special cases).

This sounds like a completely different song. I really wish they found a way to work the "Transformers, More than meets the eye" lyric/musical motif in somehow. I think the last time that happened was in Cybertron? Perhaps it has to do with the lawsuit a few years ago?

But the Decepticon designs seem kind of random. They're robots, and they turn into vehicles, but their robot modes have ANIMAL parts.... They're all over the map this time out. Plus the overall storyline seems a bit too much like "Pokemon", with the Autobots acting as dog-catchers.
I'm disappointed, as this is a 'sequel' to TF Prime, that they don't even seem to be making honorable mention of the main human characters from TF Prime. Bumblebee and Raf were supposed to have 'bonded' in TF Prime and be bosom buddies. Yet it seems in this series, they're just pretending that Miko, Raf and Jack never existed.
The Decepticons look too goofy, and don't seem to have an air of menace. They also don't seem like an organized threat - just a bunch of random 'Cons they're using as a 'monster of the week' for the Autobot dog-catchers to chase. It doesn't look too good so far. But as I say, I'll give the actual show a chance to see how it shapes up. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.

This is WITHOUT A DOUBT my favourite aspect of the show so far. I love those designs and wish I had toys for all of them. Most especially Thunderhoof who has a real badass design. The monster of the week formula does not sound bad at all for a kid's show and makes it easy for reruns.

Maybe I should be more clear: No, limited animation does not mean improved storytelling, (Because the Unicron trilogy had none of those things) nor does quality animation mean the story will be terrible. (Such as Avatar, which had amazing animation and writing) Seriously, do you think that if the animators put in more effort, suddenly the writers start slacking off?

Yes yes, I meant the english speaking intro. I just use galaxy force because I find it a better and less confusing name to use for that toyline.

I can't be the only one annoyed by this. Troy Baker already does an amazing Jazz in the Aligned games, why swap him out for some other guy in RID? It'd be one thing if Troy Baker wasn't in the cartoon at all, but to have him in there playing someone else is really disappointing. Sometimes I think it's only the fans that remember that these are supposed to be the same continuity.

It's tough to make a new series a direct sequel as that might alienate new viewers. I hate to say it but probably the only way they're referencing Prime is by having Bumblebee and Prime being dead.

From the planet Cybertron, they face a new challenge: Minicon Fixit's prison ship crashes on Earth, with the Decepticons prisoners aboard. Their stasis pods are scattered about. Denny and Russell are a father and son duo who live in Crown city. Danny's hobby is collecting used machine parts from a large junkyard.
Episode 2:
Bumblebee's team awakens the Dinobot Grimlock who fights and defeats Underbite. Underbite tries to escape to Crown City but Russell and Sideswipe use an aluminum car model as bait to lead Underbite into a quarry where he is defeated by being pushed into a pit. The image of Optimus Prime appears and commands Bumblebee to lead the team in defending Earth
Episode 3:
An oil tanker near Crown City is attacked by Hammerstrike. Hammerhead paranoia grips the seas throughout the planet. Bumblebee and Grimlock team up to defeat Hammerstrike. Strongarm confronts the reformed Decepticon Grimlock, mistrustful of him, causing Grimlock to leave.
Episode 4:
Chop Shop appears, having been stolen equipment to build a spaceship to leave Earth, lacking only the fuel to power the ship. Bumblebee is dispatched to capture him. Fixit's timely assistance allows him to defeat Chop Shop.
Episode 5:
A stasis pod is discovered near the Crown City Museum of Natural History. Denny and Russel, disguised as archaeologists and the Autobots in car form manage to obtain the stasis pod. The bull-like Terrashock emerges from the stasis pod. Bumblebee's team is exposed to the public during the ensuing fight thanks to Danny and Russell.
Episode 6:
Thunderhoof masquerades as a monster from local folklore known as the Kospego and commands humans to collect components to construct a space bridge leading back to Cybertron. The activation of the space bridge causes unexpected consequences, trapping Bumblebee and Sideswipe within the portal. Thunderhoof is transported elsewhere and runs into Grimlock.
Episode 7:
A bird-like Decepticon, Filch, is detected and is successfully captured by Bumblebee's team after some difficulty. Reality show director Denny wants to interview Larry LaRue, an antique collector but is rejected. Strongarm realizes that her teammates are more important than a rigid adherence to rules and regulations.
Episode 8:
Steeljaw secretly plants a Nitan, a louse-like device, inside Grimlock's body to control him. Grimlock is sent to attack a car junkyard and obtains Underbite's stasis pod. Bumblebee and Sideswipe manage to expel the Nitan and bring Grimlock back to normal. Steeljaw and Underbite manage to escape.
Episode 9:
While on patrol alone, Strongarm encounters Springload, a frog-like Decepticon. Springload believes that he is still on Cybertron and searches for the legendary lost city Doradas. Bumblebee, secretly tailing Strongarm, helps her to defeat Springload.
Episode 10:
The Autobot Jazz arrives from Cybertron to investigate the crash of the prison ship. The earthworm-like Decepticon Ped excavates the area near a scrapyard in search for energon crystals. The Autobots place energon near the residual energy signal of the stasis pod as bait to apprehend Ped.
Episode 11:
Bumblebee engages Quillfire in battle but is infected with a toxin that renders his intelligence at a child-like level. Quillfire later releases the elephants at the zoo but Bumblebee and Grimlock manage to corral them. Bumblebee defeats Quillfire and the toxin wears off.
Episode 12:
Two Cybertronian spacecraft land to the West of the Crown Forest. The Autobots pursue the Decepticon Fracture. Drift saves Bumblebee from Fracture, for which Bumblebee thanks him after the battle but Fracture manages to escape.
Episode 13:
The crab-like Decepticon Clampdown appears in Crown City's flood control channel. Clampdown's MO is to persuade others to uncover hidden treasure. During the fight, Clampdown is saved by Steeljaw and forced to join his army
Episode 14:
Optimus trains under the Minicon member of the Thirteen in order to better capture the Decepticons. The skunk-like Decepticon Stench, with the ability to spray an incapacitating toxin, appears, leading a gang of four. Grimlock, Sideswipe and Strongarm succumb to the toxin but Bumblebee is able to save the day. After the battle, Bumblebee reminds his team members of the value of focus and unity in their mission.

Trying to bring race into Transformers is hilarious. They're robots from outer space, Earth ethnicity do not apply to them the same way they do to humans. Even funnier when you consider Jazz only "acts" black based on his exposure to the media. You know, like a lot of white people do! Incidentally, Jazz is, himself, white.
